Gobierno provincial afirma unidad del PC en acuerdo de Churchill Falls

El 2 de noviembre, el gobierno provincial dijo que la bancada progresista conservadora estaba unida en su apoyo al nuevo acuerdo energético de Churchill Falls con Quebec en St.  John’s. Anteriormente, el premier Tony Wakeham rechazó la solicitud del ex premier Brian Peckford y del ex líder de la oposición Ches Crosbie de suspender el acuerdo para una revisión independiente.

Wakeham también afirmó que la provincia no reabrirá las negociaciones del acuerdo no vinculante, pese a las preocupaciones de los pueblos indígenas y a las dudas sobre el debate legislativo previsto. El líder del gobierno, Lloyd Parrott, presentó la portada del presupuesto federal que mostraba Churchill Falls, lo que llevó a los líderes de la oposición a cuestionar la gestión del nuevo pacto interprovincial. Wakeham había anunciado un debate legislativo especial sobre los acuerdos, pero no confirmó una votación final, lo que generó críticas de la oposición sobre los términos del tratado.
